Playing around with awesome blinding harlequin tights and poorly trying to incorporate a circus/carnival theme into the pictures has become a new favorite pasttime of mine. I'd also like to try these babies out with my CDG tuxedo blazer. You're feeling it already, aren't cha?old navy shirt. crinoline and hairpin, gifts.

Pretty simple. I would say that when I started wearing more crazily printed clothes I would pair them with something dark in contrast, as it always worked out and it's hard to match different prints. Lately I've been clashing more and more quite happily, but what I did here was really just to keep it basic. Black, white, gray. Yep.old navy top. grandma's old blazer. thrifted dress worn as skirt.

This is definitely more clashing. All the prints that remind me of circuses-candy colored stripes and carnival pastels.old navy top. mom's old skirt. forever21 headband.

My mom's old skirt which I cinched and draped quite a bit using pins and a plain black shirt. The feathered headband went well and though I don't know why the feather reminded me of circuses...the back of my brain is telling me it's the Razzle Dazzle scene from Chicago but as long as I can tightrope walk on snow without being bothered I'm oh-kay for now.thrifted blazer. crinoline, gift.

I have been wanting to try out the blazer I got Belle for forevz and the rich purple was just SCREAMING for the harlequin. Chillax Blazer, no need to fret, I had my eye on you anyways. Though I love the intense shoulder pads (we all know how much I love intense shoulder pads...) the blazer is definitely not a good size for me and Belle will like it tons because I said so.I really need to clean out my closet. The other night I walked in and found my dog resting on top of my heaps of fabric, if that tells you anything. Some stuff will be sent to fellow blog people while I'm contemplating putting others on eBay.

i think you've graduated from style rookie to style hero for braving snowy weather without 'apropriate' winter clothes. all for our sake! so ... mavericky. hahah. hmmm can't use that word in a positive way anymore.

if you put them on ebay then I WILL BE THE HIGHEST BIDDER!!!!!!you know how celebs sometimes put stuff on ebay and it goes really high? yeah well this will be like, clothes that tavi has actually worn and then people will be like ooh and bid like a million dollars.

As this is my first time commenting you, though I have been reading your blog for quite some time now, this will be a tad long. I've got to say, you are pretty damn inspiring. You have a, quite obviously, very unique style and, especially for your age, are quite on point when it comes to fashion. You are one of the factors that led to my creating a blog, and though it will never compare since I can't pull off what you can, I'm glad you gave me the inspiration. Thanks, eh?

And specifically referring to present post, those tights are very wicked.

oh, I love those! I think the second outfit is my fave. It clashes and yet still works so well!

I also love the plaid tights and outfit from your last post. The outfit as a whole reminds me of a pair of flannel overalls (yes) I owned (and loved) in like, the 2nd grade. They were red, blue, and yellow plaid! aka awesome.
